He also loves simple things in return, so if you plan to send Harry a gift some day, it shouldn’t cost you much.

Eva’s numerous movie and business ventures have enabled her to have a net worth of $35 million.

Although she spent a whopping $1.5 million on her 2007 wedding with Tony Parker, she managed to save money by gifting her guests with freebies she had received earlier from high end brands like L’Oreal, Bebe and Cole Haan.

That’s because the actress learned to use money wisely from an early age.

Jennifer Lawrence, $40 Million

With a net worth of about $40 million, Jennifer Lawrence is clearly, one of the most successful Hollywood actresses.

Queen Elizabeth II, $500 Million

With a net worth of more than $500 million, Queen Elizabeth II, the ruler of England is rich by all standards.

Paul McCartney, $1 Billion

Sir Paul McCartney, the former Beatle singer, has about $1 billion to his name.

With his kind of wealth, he’ll be the last person you’d expect to be frugal, but he is.

He is also famous for making party guests pay for their own drinks at a birthday party he held for his ex partner, Heather Mills.

Mark Zuckerberg, $35 Billion

He likes wearing jeans, grey hoodie and sandals to work.

As if that’s not enough, he doesn’t like going for fancy dinners either, as he and his wife Priscilla Chan are often spotted eating at McDonald’s or Burger King.

Warren Buffett, $71 Billion

With a net worth of about $71 billion, successful investor and business magnate, Warren Buffett is certainly one of the richest men on planet earth.

He is known for his philanthropy and work ethic.

Even at his age of 84, you would expect him to retire and enjoy his wealth.

However, he still goes to work daily, thanks to his passion for investing.

Being so rich, you would expect him to own everything money can buy.

But that’s far from the truth. He currently lives in a house he bought more than 50 years ago for about $30,000.

In addition, he doesn’t own a private jet or yacht as you would expect with rich people.

Instead, most of his money goes to helping different charity organizations.
